The two biggest U.S. roads, the Pennsylvania and the New York Central, last week reported climbing profits. The Pennsy's $4,512,912 profit for May (34? a share) set a 2½-year record, changed the big road's $2,264,466 deficit at the beginning of the month into a solid profit for the year's first five months.
